You can't do anything about them if they keep on making noise but what you can do, as we showed today, is get on with your life, put your television on and turn it up a bit louder.

The idea of treating maladies of the mind by blasting the brain with noise sounds, to the layman, like kicking a television set in order to repair it.

There was no TV, no piped music, no traffic on the road outside, no tourists (except me) and not even a menu (and, later, no printed bill).
